Playstation VR Glove patent

Sony may be working on a glove controller, likely to be paired up with PlayStation VR, if three detailed patent applications published today are any indicator. The applications numbered 14/517733, 14/517741, and 14/503275 were spotted by NeoGAF user Rösti, and they account for almost everything you’d expect from a VR glove.

No, it doesn’t have a weird NES controller strapped to the side. It does have a bunch of illuminated points for PlayStation Move-style camera tracking, though, so your ’80s fantasies aren’t totally out of line. Taken together, the glove’s gizmos help create “a virtual hand in a view of a virtual environment on a head-mounted display (HMD), the virtual hand being rendered based on the identified finger position pose”.
